Open Volunteer Times:
Join us the 2nd and 4th Monday of every month for a drop-in volunteer opportunity between 3:30-6:00 pm. No training or experience is necessary or required, family and friends welcome. Open Volunteer shifts consist of stocking food, sorting donations, light cleaning, and repackaging of items. The determination on whether to wear masks during the shift will be made by the group each week. We want everyone to feel comfortable at the Pantry.
